The Singa Formation, a geological marvel, is home to the most significant granitic dropstone ever discovered. This unique stone, identified as a trondhjemite cobble, carries an astonishing age of one billion years. Advanced techniques, specifically radiometric dating, were employed to pinpoint its age, providing a deep dive into our planet's intricate history. Intriguingly, the presence of this dropstone provides compelling evidence of ancient glacial activities. It's believed that this stone was carried and eventually deposited by glaciers that once traversed the vast expanses of the primordial supercontinent, Gondwanaland. This discovery not only underscores the dynamic geological transformations that Earth has undergone but also unravels a chapter of an era long past, emphasizing the importance of preserving such Historic Importance markers.
